Um…how should I know?

Luckily, I don’t have to know all the answers. All I had to do was ask everyone else for their productivity tips and let the magic happen.

On Tuesday, April 24th I launched the Ultimate Guide to Productivity Group Writing Project. The idea is simple (and on-going, so feel free to participate):

1. Write a blog post about your best productivity tips. Challenge yourself to pick one.
2. Tell me about it, either by linking to my blog and/or emailing me.
3. Link to other productivity posts that would be worthwhile to your audience. (Spread the link love!)
4. Tag others by linking to them, and encourage them to participate as well.

The goal is to compile the ultimate list of blog posts on productivity, and give people a great resource for finding new blogs, new content and useful stuff.

So far 28 people have linked back to me. I’m sure others have written tips after being tagged and haven’t linked back — which is totally fine — so this group writing project / meme is spreading wonderfully. And I hope more and more people participate. Even if you haven’t been tagged, write a post anyway and let others know about it!

I’ll eventually create a permanent list of posts, but for now, here’s a list of the first 28 people who participated either through being tagged or out of their own initiative. What’s always the most fascinating with projects like this is to see where people take it. Some people write about big life issues, others tackle nitty gritty details. Some run off on tangents, others stick precisely to the task-at-hand. It’s incredibly interesting and enlightening to watch others take something like this and make it their own.
